They are joined on the trip by organizer Benn Possett,Simon Vinkenoog and a clueless journalist. Harry’s beau Suze Hahn is at the wheel. Allen talks about politics, his relationship with Jack Kerouac, recites poetry, and gives a crash course on traditional and modern verse. The conversation continues at a local bookshop.
